- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined the effect of dexamethasone exposure on sleep and fatigue in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The authors claim that dexamethasone improves the cure rate of childhood ALL but causes physical and behavioral adverse events. They found that sleep and fatigue are behavioral responses to dexamethasone.
